Alec Guinness – Royal Navy

Star Wars star Alec Guinness was a successful actor from the 1940s all the way until the 1990s. During World War II, the original Obi served in the Royal Navy. He began out as a seaman but got advanced to sub-lieutenant and finally, lieutenant.

He was already really into acting throughout the war and he even requested for a temporary leave so that he could perform in the play, Flare Path. Of course, most of us will always remember him as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unfortunately, Guinness passed away in 2000 from liver cancer.
